Ha! If only. No "lower pan" on a 603A. It's $500, and on a 124 or 126 requires pulling the engine to change.
Given the oily porosity, any adhesive (silicone, epoxy, etc) will be pretty near impossible to successfully utilize. Since the defect is "almost" under the drain plug, try using a larger aluminum or copper sealing washer; you may have to make your own.
